Eight Hundred and Seventy People on Mars

After a day's work, Ye Han slowly floated into the dormitory, the cabin door closed behind him, he took off his helmet and threw it aside, the helmet floated slowly to one side, hit the bulkhead and bounced back, several times in a row. Clings to the magnetic strip on the side of the door.

Leaning against the bulkhead to remove the armor, the scattered armor was magnetically attracted to the bulkhead, Ye Han got out of the armor, sat on the chair wearing only the jumpsuit, and the screen on the table turned on automatically.

Ye Han fixed himself on the chair with a seat belt, stretched out his hand and tapped twice on the screen, brought up the communication interface, and immediately saw a flashing envelope in the communication log.

He couldn't help but feel uneasy. It has been more than nine months since he left the earth, and these few days are Bai Xiaoting's due date!

Quickly opened the envelope, Bai Xiaoting's round face appeared on the screen - she was not originally this face shape, but she was pregnant in October, and she was much plumper than before.

On the screen, Bai Xiaoting's face was dark and astringent, her airy brows were slightly frowned, and she pressed her hands on her raised belly: "Ye Han, my stomach started to hurt, it should be labor pains, just after calling Aunt Qiao, she immediately Just come here, the ambulance is already on the way, don't worry about me... In a while, the baby will be able to meet me, and I'm anticipating and uneasy at the same time, if only, if only you could be by my side..."

The door behind Bai Xiaoting suddenly opened from the outside, and two women rushed in. The one in front was at least in her sixties, and the one in the back was only in her early thirties. Both of them had concerns and anxiety on their faces.

Bai Xiaoting turned her head and looked back: "Aunt Qiao, Sister He!"

Aunt Qiao is Huo Qiang's wife, and Sister He is Gao Kai's lover. After Gao Kai learned that Bai Xiaoting was pregnant, he immediately arranged for his lover He Lan to take care of Bai Xiaoting. Later, this matter reached Huo Qiang's ears, and Huo Qiang also asked his wife to take care of Bai Xiaoting. Take good care of Bai Xiaoting. In addition, there are several military wives living in the family building who also help out. They are all helped by the military wives in the same building.

In Aunt Qiao's words, women who marry soldiers are hard-working women, men can't be counted on outside, who can we count on if we don't help ourselves?

Bai Xiaoting wanted to stand up, but Aunt Qiao quickly stopped her: "Xiaoting, sit down, don't get up, is the amniotic fluid broken?"

Bai Xiaoting shook her head: "Not yet."

"That's good, that's good. Auntie is from here. You have to wait for a while to give birth. Don't worry or be nervous. Just relax and wait." Aunt Qiao comforted softly.

Bai Xiaoting nodded, and Aunt Qiao asked again: "Xiaoting, what did the doctor say yesterday? Normal birth or caesarean section?"

Bai Xiaoting's complexion was not quite right at first, but it became more obvious after hearing this: "The doctor said that the baby is too big, and one umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck for two weeks, and the other is wrapped around the neck for three weeks, so it must be delivered by caesarean section."

Aunt Qiao stared wide-eyed: "What? The twins are still old?"

"I don't know what's going on. That's what the doctor said. Maybe my skeleton is too small."

"Okay, whatever, just give birth to the baby safely... Are you talking to your Ye Han again? Stop talking, get ready to go!"

The screen flickered and the video ended.

Ye Han sat there blankly, with only one thought in his mind: I'm going to be a father!

But he immediately began to worry about Bai Xiaoting again. Although the caesarean section is only a minor operation, no matter what kind of operation there is risk, how is she doing now?

Looking at the sending time of the video, it was only about 20 minutes away. He immediately switched the communication interface and called Aunt Qiao.

At present, the communication delay between Mars and the Earth varies depending on the distance. The farthest is 21 minutes and the closest is four minutes. The current communication delay is about 12 minutes. It is impossible for Ye Han to talk directly with Aunt Qiao, so he can only shoot the video while shooting the video. Send the video to the specified phone number.

He wanted to call Bai Xiaoting directly, but at this time Bai Xiaoting couldn't answer the phone at all, so he could only call Aunt Qiao or Sister He.

Dial out the number, the screen enters the recording interface,

Ye Han said anxiously: "Aunt Qiao, how is Xiaoting doing? Are you in the operating room? Do you have anything to say to me? Please tell me as soon as you receive the call. I'll be waiting online!"

He waited online, and he had to wait twenty-four minutes to receive a reply. He was so anxious that he wanted to stand up and walk a few times, but in this place, in the dormitory of the spaceship, the only result of standing up was to float away. Get up and fly around the house!

Ye Han didn't know why he wanted to get up and walk in circles when he was in a hurry, but he just had this urge for no reason.

The wait was so long, he kept telling himself that it was all right, but how could the worries in his heart be comforted by a few empty words of self-deception?

When Ye Han was very young, he heard that a woman's childbirth is a death pass, and some people say that giving birth is a big life in exchange for a small life. Although he is a man, he will never experience the pain of a woman's childbirth, but from these ancient descriptions It's not hard to tell how painful and difficult childbirth can be.

Even caesarean section is not absolutely safe.

At this time, Ye Han's time is like a year, he has become an ant on a hot pot, and he can't wait to return to Bai Xiaoting's side immediately.

It is natural for soldiers to eat food, but the separation of the two places is also a major problem that soldiers must face. Usually, it is okay to say that even the most important moments of life such as pregnancy and childbirth are not by your side.

Although he was neither the first nor the last, but only he knew the inner suffering and guilt?

At this moment, the communication interface suddenly popped up automatically, and a brand new envelope logo was flashing non-stop.

He glanced at the time in astonishment, it had only been four minutes, and his video was still flying to the earth!

Ye Han's mind was a little confused. He immediately clicked on the flashing sign, and a video frame jumped out of the screen. In the video, there was a bright corridor. Several medical staff were pushing a bed into the operating room, and they couldn't see the bed clearly. A person who can only see a high swollen belly.

The camera followed the hospital bed until the bed was pushed into the operating room and stopped at the door, then the camera rotated, and Aunt Qiao appeared in the camera: "Ye Han, Xiao Ting has been sent to the operating room, I asked Lao Huo to find the best gynecologist ..."

A young woman's voice broke in suddenly: "Who is the family member of the mother?"

The camera shook violently, and Aunt Qiao said, "I am!"

"Who are you in maternity?"

"Neighbor."

"Neighbors? That won't work. Where are the mother's family members? The operation sheet must be signed by the family members." The nurse said.

"I can do it. Her husband is my wife's subordinate, and he is currently on Mars." Aunt Qiao said.
